#ThrowbackThursday: Ready for some classic 80s hard rock?! 🤘

This week, we're taking it back to 1984 with one of my favorite #MasterThatRiff lessons: RATT's iconic 'Round and Round!'

This riff is pure Warren DeMartini magic – sharp, catchy, and instantly recognizable. It's a fantastic lesson in rock rhythm guitar with that signature hair metal swagger.

What's another 80s hair metal anthem you think has an underrated guitar riff? Let me know in the comments! 👇

The answer to Yesterday's NTGP is... Steve Morse!

Whether it's with Deep Purple, the Dixie Dregs, or his solo work, Steve's innovative playing, incredible picking precision, and genre-bending style have always pushed the boundaries of guitar.

#ThrowbackThursday to a riff with a Celtic twist! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This week, we're revisiting one of my all-time favourite #MasterThatRiff lessons: John Petrucci's "Glasgow Kiss!"

As a Scot, the subtle Celtic quality in this prog-metal beast has always resonated with me – it's such a cool touch from Petrucci! If you've ever wanted to tackle those tricky rhythms and stretchy runs, this lesson breaks down the main riff into manageable chunks.

What other John Petrucci riffs or solos would you love to see me break down in a future MasterThatSolo or MasterThatRiff video? Let me know in the comments! 👇

The answer to yesterday's NTGP is... the mighty Brian Robertson! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Robbo's playing with Thin Lizzy was all about feel, bluesy bends, and a unique tone that set him apart. He was a master of the two-guitar harmony with Scott Gorham which influenced many future twin guitar bands.

What's a riff or solo from his time in Thin Lizzy that you think is most iconic? Share your favorites in the comments! 👇

Hey Guys check this out - https://youtu.be/vw9HdfCbZ8E?feature=... may remember a few months back I posted up a pic of Robben Ford's Tele and a short of Larry Carlton and Robben Ford playing? It was at this event. I was lucky enough to be invited to the final show night and man was it a blast!
